The secret is out, the nasty rumor mill at one Bay State school will now grind to a halt. In a new section of this year’s Bellingham middle school handbook, titled “Rumors,” students caught “creating or repeating rumors will incur strong consequences.” Those consequences include everything from a reprimand to suspension, according to Principal Elaine D’Alfonso. “Schools are breeding places for rumors, but one day last spring, I had to deal with a rumor about a teacher that threatened to end the teacher’s career,” said D’Alfonso. The new policy is aimed right at girls who have turned up the heat on revenge-seeking rumors using e-mail and instant messaging.
